From W. S. Wade 23 October 1873
York Street, Wakefield
Octr 23 1873.
Dear Sir
I should have answered your letter of Septr 12 before now, but have deferred doing so until I had an opportunity of seeing the man, & making the enquiries you suggest.—1
In answer to these enquiries I have to say that he tells me that he had the fits between 1 & 2 years of age, & that the children were born with the peculiar condition of the eyelids,— by all means keep the Photographs,2 & if you would like copies I will at any time send you them
Yours faithfully | W. S. Wade
